Abstract:
Participants learn about how ethical reasoning can be incorporated into mathematics courses by modifying modeling problems already used in their courses. We start with introducing what ethical reasoning is and why it is important to include ethical reasoning into mathematics courses and then share specific mathematical modeling problems with the audience and describe how ethical reasoning prompts can be integrated into each problem.
At the end of this session, participants will be ready to adapt their mathematical modeling problems in their own courses to incorporate ethical reasoning into those mathematics courses, and will have additional examples to build off provided in a shared public folder https://beav.es/cru
